Chapter 26 - Scouting task

"You're team balance is normal. You have every role. Then, your task will be scouting this area."

"I understand."

[Complete the Task:

Scout the area around the valley. This area is far from the battlefield, however, it's better to be wary of cunning Demons. You never know what their mind is thinking.

Reward: 1000 points]

The Support Division 46 is located in the western part of the fort city. It was near a deep forest valley. There was no need to defend this place. As it's not a good place for war.

If the demons are smart, this area will be disadvantageous for them. In the history of war, demons lost their lives in this area pitifully.

The humans took advantage of the area and attacked from above. Killing the demons without struggling.

That's why, the demons do not want to repeat the same mistake.

"Remember your job is to scout this area. Do not make a move if you find Demons. Leave that job to the main army. General Busavi is the one station in this area, he will take care of the Demons that tried to sneak."

Shana said. Her expression was serious, it made the faint-hearted girls shiver. She put her hand on Kim Yo-han's shoulder. Her eyes were looking at him gently.

"Don't ever do anything reckless. Prioritize your lives, We the Support Division do not need to take risks. It is not our job."

"I understand. We will do our job."

"... Okay go. There will be others coming in."

Shana del Heron, an S-rank awakener sighed in exasperation. She watched Kim Yo-han and others walked out of the door. Touching her chest, she could feel her heart beating furiously.

'What's wrong with me? I have a husband... But, He looked very young and handsome. I saw someone like him.'

...

"Here, this is a communication device. You can inject your mana into this device."

Ziba gave Kim Yo-han a rectangular plate, the same size as an adult palm. Kim Yo-han observed it a little before putting it in his pocket.

"Although, our meeting was short. Be careful out there. Just like what our leader said, don't take risks. It's not our job."

Ziba reminded them again.

"And, Oh! the chance of demons going into this area is small. There are plenty of monsters in the area, you better watch out."

...

"Are we going down there?" Hwang Myeong-suk said, her voice contained hesitation.

Kim Yo-han and the others look down. There was a large forest valley below and a river. The river continued towards the city, however, it was blocked by a high wall. On the side of the river, there was the army station to defend the place.

"Shouldn't we just remain here?" Kim Hana said. She's gotten used to the group and did not feel any nervousness.

"Y-Yeah that should be good. R-Right?" Yoon Yuna agreed timidly.

"That makes sense. Isn't it better to take the higher ground instead of going down?" Hwang Myeong-suk followed suit.

"We are going down. I see monsters down below. It should be good for you all to train." Kim Yo-han rejected them.

"Hahaha, can't wait to get stronger!" Imchul said.

"I heard some monsters here are delicious." Jin Hyunjun suddenly said.

"What?! Is that true? I thought monster meat was poisonous." Imchul said with a surprised tone.

"That's because dungeon monsters are filled with miasma and not great for consumption." Jin Hyunjun explained to his friend. "Maybe this is the difference between worlds."

"Where did you hear that Hyunjun-ssi?" Hwang Myeong-suk asked him.

"I overheard someone talking earlier."

"You're quite observant. I was so distracted. There are many new things around. The air was fresh and I could feel the energy in this place is so soothing."

"Indeed, compared to our world, this world is much better. I can feel every inch of skin revitalized each second." Kim Hayan touched the skin on her arm.

"I-I could feel my mana capacity expanding slowly with every breath I took. What a wonderful world." Yoon Yuna took a deep breath.

Every one of them was immersed in the new surroundings. One cannot compare a polluted world to a fresh world without pollution at all. [Paradise] atmosphere is better than any world. As this world is created by gods.

"Now that I think of it. We've been having conversations with them." Hwang Myeong-suk suddenly said.

"What do you mean? Unnie?" Yoon Yuna tilted her head.

"You know, we are speaking our language but I hear a different language out of their lips. But, for some reason I understand them?"

"Oh my, I just noticed that." Kim Hayan placed her palm on her face and tilted her head.

"I think there is a mechanism that lets us understand the language in [Paradise]. Remember what Ziba said? That demon speaks like us. Or the system gave us the ability to understand the language?"

Kim Yo-han pointed out. He knew the reason why. However, that makes him suspicious. So he just explained subtly. His words weren't a lie.

In [Paradise] every otherwordlers can understand the inhabitants. It's a measure the [Paradise] created. However, there are languages in this place that cannot be translated. It is for the otherworlder to not know every secret.

Anyway, that's a story for another time.

Kim Yo-han and others successfully went down the valley. It wasn't really hard to trek as it's not a cliff but a slope. Below the slope was a full of trees.

"Let's go, I found a group of wolves. We can hunt them." Kim Yo-han pointed at the distance.

"I don't see it." Kim Hana whose class is an archer squinted her eyes to see the distance. But to no avail.

"How does scouting work?" Hwang Myeong-suk asked.

"It's simple, we only have to report the area we have to scout. If there is a situation going on, we are to report it. No matter how insignificant it is."

"That simple?"

"Yes."

"So we are not fighting any demons?"

"...Not really. If we encountered one, we could defeat it." Kim Yo-han shook his head.

"Oh! I'm excited!"

"Boss! Wolves meat isn't delicious." Imchul suddenly interjected.

"We are not eating it. It's for your training. The wolves are B-rank and there are about 12 of them."

"Boss, are you sure we can handle it? Hyung and Hana-ssi are still C-rank." Imchul pointed at Jin Hyunjun and Kim Hana.

Jin Hyunjun remained calm. It didn't bother him. A few wolves don't matter to him. With his experience, wolves are just side dishes.

For Kim Hana, she doesn't have any fighting experience. Fighting against one rank higher than her would be terrible.

It's like tossing a sheep in a tiger's den.

"Oh, Hana will not participate with you. She will be training with me. This is a good task for her. I will teach her some scouting skills. So in the future, we will have someone who can scout." Kim Yo-han shook his head.

Kim Hana felt a sense of relief. But when she thinks again, she will be with Kim Yo-han. Her face started to blush. 'With guildmaster...hehe.'

"She's too obvious." Hwang Myeong-suk's eyes were dull. She snickered under her breath.

"..." Yoon Yuna cast an envious glance at Kim Hana. She gripped her staff in her hand tightly. 'I want Yo-han to teach me too.'

"Prepare yourselves. The wolves have already noticed our scent. They are coming. Imchul four wolves will leap on the northern right side."

"Roger!"

Imchul removed the large iron shield on his back. Taking his blade out on his waist with his other hand. These weapons were created by Kim Yo-han. Though all of it was just B-rank.

Everyone's equipment is created by Kim Yo-han. He did not create strong weapons and armor in fear they would rely on it too much. That would not be a good idea.

"Hyunjun and Myeon-suk intercept the wolves on the left side. If they run away, don't pursue them. Yuna magic on Imchul... Sis, cover Imchul with a barrier."

"Haaa! [Giant's Roar]"

On Imchul's side, another 3 wolves attacked him. He was attacked by 7 wolves. The wolves noticed that they could not destroy his defense, so they tried to change their target to Kim Hayana and Yoon Yuna.

However, Imchul activated his skill [Giant's Roar], it's an instigation skill. The wolves that tried to change their target saw Imchul as their hated enemy!

"Wow. They are amazing. Imchul-ssi is so strong, he can handle 7 wolves. Myeong-suk Unnie and Hyunjun-ssi are doing great... Yuna Unnie's magic is so powerful, it instantly killed one wolf and another injured."

Kim Hana's eyes lit up in admiration. She is watching intently.

"Watch carefully. Because you will be joining with them after I teach some things. You are an archer. Your job is to hide, scout, fire support, Etc... For now, I will teach you scouting..."

"Y-Yes!"

...

While Kim Yo-han's team is having training. The scouting task doesn't have any time limit. Kim Yo-han had guessed that they only needed to guard the area until the war ended.

However, Kim Yo-han had a plan.

[War has begun!]

[Accumulate points and reach the top. The top 10 will be rewarded. There will be two types of ranking. Individual and Group ranking.]
